I find it kinda slow to have to wait for the animation when all the instances of a program (e.g. all open firefox windows) are placed as thumbnails over the screen. Is there a faster/smoother way to switch between instances of a program without having to alt+Tab through ALL programs? Or an easy way to speed up or prevent the animation?

Thanks for any suggestions :)

I want to modify /etc/hosts (and later also hostname) via a script and ssh. So I'm logged in via ssh and this works:

sudo nano /etc/hosts

It shows the remote hosts file in nano. However I was trying this (via commandline, but this should work in order to make it work in a script right?):

echo [mypassword] | sudo -S nano /etc/hosts

but get this output:

Recieved SIGHUP or SIGTERM

Buffer written to /etc/hosts.save

I just saw that this also happens with more simple text-files (e.g. test.txt). Any ideas how to fix this?

And yes, I am aware of the insecurity of the clear password. :)

Thanks in advance
